Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!
just got my first standard... the tone is incredible... looks almost identical to duane allman's 'Lanta... weight = 9lbs 12ozs!!! will post pics later...
the other guitarist in our band has couple of 90's classics and mine seems notably heavier than both of his... i was surprised at the weight difference between them... it is no wonder that Jimmy is beginning to slump a little as the years pass...
+/- 73 Custom 10 lbs. I absolutely dont care for the weight. Give me 12 lbs Norlin every day. I am not used to light guitars, they seem like toy to me.
92 Studio Lite ............ 7.47
00 Deluxe .................. 9.13
01 Studio .................. 8.91
05 Standard ............... 9.44
05 Standard Faded ...... 8.59
My '01 R9 is 8.75, my '74 Custom is in the 10 range.
The older I get, the more I see to notice the weight of the Custom, especially after a 3 hour gig.
